After spending probably 60 hours here researching over the past few weeks, I just picked up my first S10 - a 1994 S10 Blazer 4dr 2WD in garnet red/black with a near-immaculate charcoal grey interior, 4.3, 140k miles. She’s got some issues, but all fairly run-of-the-mill stuff I’m excited to start wrenching on. I’ll cut to the chase and post some photos before rambling too much:

First two were pics from the listing right after a polish, she’ll be getting a coat of wax soon to keep the paint from fading - you can see some black poking through in some spots (like behind the rear windows) from the last polishing, but that’s just a little added character in my book.
I’d been shopping around for an SUV/truck to complement my pretty impractical daily you can see below.. I grew up riding around in/working on my dad’s ‘80 C10, ‘75 K5 and ‘71 pickup and going to Chevy truck shows, and have always loved squarebodies, but in decent shape they’re just too expensive nowadays for me being a year out of college with expensive hobbies.. Then at the SETN C10 Truck Nationals show a few weeks back a nice 1st gen S10 caught my eye, and the stars aligned. Hasn’t inflated to the moon yet, better on gas and way cheaper/easier to work on than my 350Z, and still has those sweet boxy lines in abundance.
Thought you guys may get a kick out of this - I’ve recently taken up fishing, which is a bit cumbersome when a tiny coupe is your only car..

I’ll definitely get more use out of that now that I can just detach the pontoons and slide it in the back of the Blazer. I’ve braved the interstate a few times like that, but it’s a little too much pucker factor for frequent/long trips lol..
